Wow! That's a lot of plants. I can see you use every inch of space you have there. Can I know what type of lighting you are using? Thanks.

The basement room is 3m x 2m. There is a 400 W High Pressure Sodium and additional 2 x 30 W fluorescent tubes. The terrarium is 1m x 1m. There I use a 150 W Ceramic Compact Metal Halide CDM-T.

Talking about effective use of space. Here is my wall of maxima seedlings

Hey Boris, Great plan on that wall of seedlings! I love it! Thanks for a great example, I've got so many seedlings that all spaces in my greenhouses are full already! This could open up some table space. I already hang baskets but hadn't thought of using the wall spaces this effectively!
